    4 Stars I've found a man who can 01/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages you can ask in plane english

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Jeeves will try to get you to buy a book when he's stumped

    "I say Jeeves, what time was I to meet Cat's Meat down at the drones for a game of Slosh?" Jeeves shimmered out of the room, and promptly reappeared with a cheque for £1,000,000. "Topper, where did you get that? Did your gege come in at Goodwood?" I said with something of a knitted brow. "No Sir, if you ask me the right question, this could be yours." From Jeeves jumps on the bandwagon P.G.Woodehouse 1936 Jeeves, P.G.Woodehouse's immortal character, valet (for valet he was, a gentleman's gentleman (in the old sense of the word) and not a butler) to Bertie Wooster, now as well known as a ... more

    4 Stars The Butler That Delivers 19/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Different concept for a Search Engine, You can ask actual questions, Current content in results

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Occasionally some questions may not be answerable, May be a dissadvantage for those seeking very detailed searches

    Ask Jeeves is the Search Engine with a difference and very unlike your usual Search Engines such as Yahoo and Lycos, to name a few. What struck me most about Ask Jeeves was the simplicity of the start page. An unknowing visitor could not be blamed for mistaking this as a website for a posh restaurant or hotel. Unlike other search engines Ask Jeeves asks you; Have A Question? Let me help you find the answer. This is very unique indeed. Another major difference is that you can ask a full question instead of only a phrase or a keyword. One example I would like to give you in order for you to ... more

    3 Stars That ambling clueless butler... 23/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages uses natural language

    Disadvantages Disadvantages answers are frequently less than useful

    'Oh', I lamented in my chair for the fourth time that fine summer's evening, 'Dear Jeeves.... - will you ever learn?' Alas, no, it seems. Jeeves, my internet butler, far from serving me, his master, with any information from the internet I so desire, will be served himself with his P45. I suspect Jeeves has had the tantalus keys copied: I'm sure I could detect the smell of sherry when he told me with a straight face I can buy curtains from an Irish Estate Agent. This is the thing with Jeeves. The site makes a big play about the fact that Jeeves is an intelligent "being". Jeeves, apparently ... more

    5 Stars WIN A MILLION AND ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS 13/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to use, win a million, very thorough result

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Jeeves wants you to ask a question they have never been asked before to win a million pounds! Sounds good but www.askjeeves.com is a massive site which has been going for a while now and therefore this may be more difficult than it sounds! The concept of the site is very simple, all you have to do is go to the site and type your question. Jeeves then finds possible sites that will help you answer your question. Most people have probably heard of this site due to the intense advertising that goes on, it is a very good site for any questions you may have and 9 times out of 10 has provided me ... more

    4 Stars Do you want to win a million 02/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages it finds what you are looking for

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to be very precise in how you ask

    Not much of an update just to say that good old jeeves £1million question has finished and that it looks like he gets to keep it :o( maybe he can buy himself a new suit :o) Here is the challenge! If you think you can ask a question that hasn’t been asked before, the £1million is yours to keep! If you don’t, then don’t worry because you can ask up to fifty questions a day and you will be entered into a daily draw of fantastic prizes which is open until the 12th of July! This is what “Ask Jeeves” is promising at the moment. As a search engine that rampages through ... more

    my guinea pig was fine last night running around an squeaking but when we got up this morning he was dying!

    my guinea pig had swollen to twice maybe 3 times his normal size and seemed 2 be full of air he also had trouble breathing his stomach was like a balloon and very squashy. he also had water trickling from his bottom and could not move so i phoned vet for an emergency appointment but within 2 minutes of me phoning he was dead do you know what could have caused this sudden death?
